Abstract

This study aimed to characterize the treatment given by beekeeping organizations to sharing knowledge among its members concerning the platforms of interaction Nonaka, Toyama & Konno (2005) and the factors that influence the knowledge sharing of Ipe (2003). Representatives of five beekeeping organizations were interviewed  in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul (MS). The results indicate a favorable context for knowledge sharing, however, they suggest that the lack of participation and interest of the majority of producers regarding the activities of associations, cooperatives and federation, weakens the dissemination, creation and perpetuation of knowledge between these organizations.
